I have a son with a significant learning disability...until last year we had to consider whether he had retardation as his IQ only tested at 70. Happily he's made great progress and is now in the average range...90. 
Very proud of him...
I wish Zach was quick to forget when other kids call him terrible names and don't invite him to parties and the like...but he can't yet. Hurts us moms when they hurt doesn't it? Your girls sound great...how old are they?
And the laughs? Oh boy...Zach just cracks me up sometimes...have I got a good one:
Zach's class will be taking sex ed classes soon, but he wanted to get a heads-up and starting asking me all kinds of stuff...no problem. So when he asks me how an egg grows into a boy or girl, I tell him the dad's sperm is either boy or girl and whichever one gets to the egg first is what the baby will be.
So...he thinks about this for a minute then brightens up..."I get it! The man has one blue tentacle and one pink one!!"
Oh my lord....couldn't get off the floor I was laughing so hard...

For those who might be late comers to this board, Dory was a poster who we will remember as one who gave of herself so others survivors might smile. She always kept this board moving with her inspirational poems, jokes and riddles. Most will give Dory credit for energizing this board. She was an inspiration to everyone on this board. In that spirit, let us
continue to post in Dory’s memory so she might smile down on us and give us the same inspiration. Therefore, we have named the board, Dory's Board, in her memory. 11/11/01 (Dory was the first to call attention to the significance of 9/11, re: WTC tragedy, i.e. 911 for emergency). Let me be the first to note all the ones in the above date, indicating she was No. 1 on our board.
